In my view, the best soccer match ever played wasn’t a World Cup Final. It wasn’t an F.A. Cup Final, a Champions League Final or any Premier League shootout. And, for the record, it wasn’t an MLS match.

Sorry Joe, but the best team to never win a world cup is without doubt the “Clockwork Orange” Holland team of 1974. In second place is either the 1978 Holland team or the Magnificent Magyars of Puskas-era Hungary. After that, we could consider the 1982 Brazilian team, which had some stars but was not nearly as good all around the pitch as the Total Footballers of 1974.
